Judge Lippincott, in a humorous vein!
as though it we're a good joke, put forward

man with his hat off or on.
Mr.. McMurphey moved that the nolnina'
ton be made unanimous, and the Conven'
tion complied.
Mr.. Ham lton, being called for, expressed
his thanks and felt grateful that he was
opposed by such an honorable gentleman
as the Democratic candidate for the posi-.
ton, He also felt that be was fortunate
in having been associated with the gentle
men who were nominated before him. He
meant 10 imply, doubtless, that he would
cheerfully face defeat in the respectable
company the Convention provided him
with.
When nominations for City Marshal were
called for
Judge Lippincott started out by saying
he would like to place in nomination q
gentleman who would harmonic the dis
cordant factions of the Republican party,
when he was interrupted by the chair. who
insisted that there was none. Judge Lip
pincott deferred to the superior
knowledge of the chair, but insisted that
if there were none now the Chairman would
not deny there had been in the past and he
was glad to have the assurance from such
respectable authority. He then nominated
Capt. s. Reynolds.
Mr.. jerks nominated Mr.. McMurphey
who seemed to think it was getting
monotonous.
The ballot resulted:
Reynolds

Capt. Reynolds was called for and in 9
few brief remarks expressed bis thanks.

sion of five minutes to allow the delegates
to agree upon the names of the lambs that
were to be led to the slaughter.

The naming of a chairman OF the City
Republican Central Committee being next
in order, Mr.. Mantle placed MI. Daniel
Gamer before the Convention in q f1owery
speech. The choice was not opposed.

to fill vacancies.
When everything al done that the Con.
vention had been called to do MI. Mantle
once arose and, deriving
support in the same graceful attitude
as before, endeavored to raise the
depressed spirits Of his comrades by throw
ing a wet blanket on the result of their de-
alterations. He stated that he had at
tended the Democratic Convention the day
before and paid them a high and we'll
merited enconium on the ticket they had

Kenyon, the Democratic candidate for
Mayor, and stated explicitly that he wal
an almost invincible candidate. Then he
endeavored to derive what comfort he
could from the fact that Mr.. Pinhkam was
a practical man. though in What respect he
differed from the Democratic candidate in
that respect Mr.. Mantle was wisely silent.
To any unprejudiced listner. Mr.. Nantes

~couragement with which he concluded had
a very faint-hearted sound.
Chairman Knowles ~endeavored to stem
the gloom that settled down after MIR.
Mantle's effort by referring to Mr.. Ken
yon's record as a Democrat, and waved
the ensangu'ned garment to raise the
dropping spirits of his followers, at the
conclusion Of which. on motion, the City
Republican Convention bowed itself out.
The rain poured down at the conclusion
of the Convention, and the prospect with
out was as cherries as the prospect for the
Republican party in the city when the
honest. horny-handed sons of toiI' de-,
eide at the polls mex Monday which ticket
they prefer.
